Join us on for a virtual conversation the recompilation of the state’s 1901 constitution. Part of the ongoing history/now series, the program will feature Othni J. Lathram, director of the Legislative Services Agency.

In 2020, Alabama voters approved a bill to initiate work by the Legislative Services Agency and an advisory committee to recompile the constitution. The legislation limited these efforts to four categories: removing racist language, deleting duplicative and repealed sections, consolidating economic development provisions, and arranging local amendments by county. Ahead of the November 8, 2022, final vote on the measure, Lathram will discuss how the group took up the work of recompilation and how the measure would appear on Alabamians’ ballots.

The program will be livestreamed through the ADAH’s Facebook page and YouTube channel.
